Any fool can see why you're doing this. 186 00:18:15,802 --> 00:18:19,055 I'll let Starfleet Command be the judge of my motives. 187 00:18:19,222 --> 00:18:22,683 I won't submit to this petty search for revenge. 188 00:18:22,851 --> 00:18:26,312 But you will submit to Starfleet regulations, 189 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:30,483 and they state that the ship's surgeon will require examination 190 00:18:30,650 --> 00:18:35,946 of any crewmember that he has doubts about, including the captain. 191 00:18:44,331 --> 00:18:47,333 - Captain Kirk here. - 'Sulu here, Captain. 192 00:18:47,501 --> 00:18:51,212 'Starfleet is requesting additional details on the delay.' 193 00:18:51,380 --> 00:18:53,464 I'll be right there. 194 00:19:18,949 --> 00:19:21,242 Pulse pressure... 195 00:19:22,285 --> 00:19:26,580 ...blood count, all body functions normal, then why am I here? 196 00:19:26,748 --> 00:19:28,958 Dr McCoy? 197 00:19:30,669 --> 00:19:32,753 Dr McCoy... 198 00:19:32,921 --> 00:19:36,173 - Quiet would be best for you. - Where's Dr McCoy? 199 00:19:36,341 --> 00:19:39,760 - I'm in charge now. - Bring Dr McCoy at once. 200 00:19:39,928 --> 00:19:42,847 He is in command of medicine here. 201 00:19:43,014 --> 00:19:46,016 He was taken off your case by Captain Kirk. 202 00:19:46,184 --> 00:19:47,977 By Captain Kirk? 203 00:19:48,145 --> 00:19:51,522 It was done for your own protection, Dr Lester. 204 00:19:51,690 --> 00:19:56,861 I am not Janice Lester. She did this to me. How can I make you understand? 205 00:19:57,028 --> 00:20:01,824 Janice has driven herself mad with jealousy, hatred and ambition. 206 00:20:01,992 --> 00:20:05,911 Nurse Chapel, bring Mr Spock and Dr McCoy to me at once. 207 00:20:06,079 --> 00:20:12,293 They must believe I am not Janice Lester.

She must be kept sedated. 212 00:20:26,975 --> 00:20:30,728 - Shall I prepare a mild sedative? - Of course. 213 00:20:42,032 --> 00:20:44,492 You are insane, Dr Lester. 214 00:21:08,350 --> 00:21:14,480 'Captain's log, stardate unknown.

Could I see your Dr McCoy? 219 00:21:30,413 --> 00:21:33,082 That's against Dr Coleman's orders. 220 00:21:36,962 --> 00:21:40,965 Is a visit by that very kind Mr Spock to be allowed? 221 00:21:41,132 --> 00:21:43,926 Perhaps before we reach the Benecia Colony. 222 00:21:44,094 --> 00:21:48,264 Isn't the Enterprise to rendezvous with the Potemkin at Beta Aurigae? 223 00:21:48,431 --> 00:21:51,642 First we have to let you recuperate at Benecia. 224 00:21:54,563 --> 00:21:57,398 You'll feel better if you have a little. 225 00:21:58,441 --> 00:22:00,526 Well, I'll try.

Knowledge of the captain's behavior is spreading. 233 00:22:44,988 --> 00:22:47,990 The crew is becoming increasingly tense. 234 00:22:48,158 --> 00:22:49,783 What worries me most 235 00:22:49,951 --> 00:22:54,163 is that Jim seems unaware something is wrong with him. 236 00:22:54,331 --> 00:22:59,627 We've got to make him realize it's serious before treatment can begin. 237 00:22:59,794 --> 00:23:05,257 I'm afraid that is a forlorn hope. The illness appears to be primarily mental. 238 00:23:05,425 --> 00:23:08,135 One of us should be able to get to him. 239 00:23:08,303 --> 00:23:14,350 I keep looking for an approach, but the speed of the illness makes it difficult. 240 00:23:14,517 --> 00:23:17,436 Perhaps the surgeon general should be alerted. 241 00:23:17,604 --> 00:23:21,649 Headquarters are only interested in results of specific tests. 242 00:23:21,816 --> 00:23:23,859 All we have are our opinions. 243 00:23:24,027 --> 00:23:28,822 Are you sure the captain will comply with your order in this state of mind? 244 00:23:28,990 --> 00:23:31,950 I'll lose my medical authority to enforce it. 245 00:23:36,998 --> 00:23:40,918 Doctor, we are treading on very thin ground. 246 00:23:41,086 --> 00:23:44,505 Actions such as these might be misinterpreted. 247 00:23:44,673 --> 00:23:49,176 Then so be it. Our responsibility is clear. 248 00:23:49,344 --> 00:23:51,387 Whatever happened to the captain 249 00:23:51,554 --> 00:23:55,891 took place in the short space of time he was alone with Dr Lester. 250 00:23:56,059 --> 00:23:59,228 A conversation with her might shed some light. 251 00:23:59,396 --> 00:24:04,066 It's worth a try. You try to get to Dr Lester while I examine Jim. 252 00:24:05,819 --> 00:24:09,571 Well, gentlemen. I'm here, Doctor. 253 00:24:14,577 --> 00:24:17,830 Spock, Bones, help me.

Maintain a 24-hour watch. 258 00:24:34,055 --> 00:24:38,350 No one, absolutely no one is to talk to her without my permission. 259 00:25:00,915 --> 00:25:04,168 - How is the doctor? - She regained consciousness. 260 00:25:04,335 --> 00:25:08,046 - I have a few questions to ask her. - Did the captain order it? 261 00:25:08,214 --> 00:25:12,134 Why should he? They are my questions. I am ordering it. 262 00:25:12,302 --> 00:25:14,928 He said no one is allowed to speak to her. 263 00:25:15,096 --> 00:25:18,557 Has such an order ever included his senior officers? 264 00:25:18,725 --> 00:25:20,350 No, sir. 265 00:25:20,518 --> 00:25:24,646 Mr Spock, I think the captain meant a guard should be present. 266 00:25:24,814 --> 00:25:26,899 By all means, Lieutenant. 267 00:25:33,740 --> 00:25:35,991 That's enough. That's enough. 268 00:25:36,159 --> 00:25:38,994 Your heart will last for ever, Captain. 269 00:25:40,038 --> 00:25:43,749 - How am I otherwise? - In the pink as usual. 270 00:25:43,917 --> 00:25:48,170 Liver, kidney, blood count, metabolic rate, 271 00:25:48,338 --> 00:25:53,133 everything, even your glands, functioning at their usual efficiency. 272 00:25:53,301 --> 00:25:56,595 Good. I hope you're as pleased about it as I am. 273 00:25:59,432 --> 00:26:02,059 Don't get dressed yet. 274 00:26:02,227 --> 00:26:05,062 You said I was in perfect condition. 275 00:26:06,105 --> 00:26:08,190 Physically. 276 00:26:10,276 --> 00:26:12,319 Another test isn't necessary. 277 00:26:12,487 --> 00:26:15,489 The Robbiani dermal-optic is crucial. 278 00:26:15,657 --> 00:26:20,118 It reveals the basic emotional structure. You had one once before. 279 00:26:20,286 --> 00:26:23,455 I need another to compare with that previous test. 280 00:26:23,623 --> 00:26:27,334 There should be no change in your dermal-optic reactions 281 00:26:27,502 --> 00:26:29,461 to the color wave lengths. 282 00:26:34,050 --> 00:26:42,933 Over here, Captain. 283 00:26:43,101 --> 00:26:49,481 Complete life-entity transfer with the aid of a mechanical device? 284 00:26:50,525 --> 00:26:52,401 That's what it must have been. 285 00:26:52,569 --> 00:26:57,447 Such total transfer has never been accomplished with complete success 286 00:26:57,615 --> 00:26:59,449 anywhere in the galaxy. 287 00:26:59,617 --> 00:27:02,160 It was accomplished long ago on Camus II. 288 00:27:02,328 --> 00:27:05,330 - I'm a living example. - That is your claim. 289 00:27:05,498 --> 00:27:11,211 As yet it is unsubstantiated by any... external evidence, 290 00:27:11,379 --> 00:27:13,797 or objective tests. 291 00:27:13,965 --> 00:27:17,384 Nevertheless, Spock, it is the truth I'm speaking. 292 00:27:21,806 --> 00:27:24,474 Now lower your arms and open your eyes. 293 00:27:27,937 --> 00:27:32,733 At this moment, Dr McCoy is examining 294 00:27:32,901 --> 00:27:35,152 the captain for psychological changes. 295 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:39,990 If any facts are uncovered, that would be acceptable evidence. 296 00:27:40,158 --> 00:27:43,201 The only kind which is acceptable to Starfleet 297 00:27:43,828 --> 00:27:46,204 and the crew of the Enterprise. 298 00:27:47,248 --> 00:27:52,210 Spock, when I was caught in the interphase of the Tholian sector, 299 00:27:52,378 --> 00:27:56,089 you risked your life and the Enterprise to get me back. 300 00:27:56,257 --> 00:27:58,008 Help me get back now. 301 00:27:59,385 --> 00:28:03,013 When the Vians of Minara demanded that we let Bones die, 302 00:28:03,181 --> 00:28:04,765 we didn't permit it. 303 00:28:04,933 --> 00:28:07,559 That is true. The captain did not. 304 00:28:07,727 --> 00:28:11,063 However, those events have been recorded. 305 00:28:11,230 --> 00:28:13,982 They could have become known to you. 306 00:28:18,738 --> 00:28:22,658 You are closer to the captain than anyone in the universe. 307 00:28:22,825 --> 00:28:25,494 You know his thoughts. 308 00:28:27,664 --> 00:28:30,958 What does your telepathic mind tell you now? 309 00:29:03,241 --> 00:29:05,492 I believe you. 310 00:29:05,660 --> 00:29:10,247 However, my belief is not acceptable evidence. 311 00:29:10,415 --> 00:29:15,544 Evidence must be factual.

Captain James T Kirk? 379 00:34:47,668 --> 00:34:53,048 No. I am not Captain Kirk. That is very apparent. 380 00:34:53,215 --> 00:34:59,220 I claim that whatever it is that makes James Kirk a being special to himself 381 00:34:59,388 --> 00:35:01,514 is being held here in this body. 382 00:35:02,933 --> 00:35:09,105 However, as I understand it, I am Dr Janice Lester. 383 00:35:14,111 --> 00:35:18,031 That's very clever, but I didn't say it. 384 00:35:18,199 --> 00:35:23,578 I said the body of James Kirk is being used by Dr Janice Lester. 385 00:35:23,746 --> 00:35:27,665 Oh. A subtlety that somehow escapes me. 386 00:35:27,833 --> 00:35:33,380 I assume that this switch was arrived at by mutual agreement. 387 00:35:33,547 --> 00:35:37,175 No. It was brought about by a violent attack by Dr Lester 388 00:35:37,343 --> 00:35:40,595 and the use of equipment she discovered on Camus ll. 389 00:35:40,763 --> 00:35:46,810 Violence... by the lady, perpetrated on Captain Kirk. 390 00:35:48,187 --> 00:35:51,898 I ask the assembled personnel to look at Dr Janice Lester 391 00:35:52,066 --> 00:35:56,986 and visualize that historic moment. 392 00:35:57,154 --> 00:36:00,615 Can you tell me why Dr Janice Lester 393 00:36:00,783 --> 00:36:04,244 would agree to this ludicrous exchange? 394 00:36:04,412 --> 00:36:08,081 Yes. To get the power she craved. 395 00:36:08,249 --> 00:36:13,420 To attain a position she doesn't merit by temperament or training. 396 00:36:13,587 --> 00:36:17,215 And, most of all, she wanted to murder James Kirk, 397 00:36:17,383 --> 00:36:20,093 a man who once loved her. 398 00:36:20,261 --> 00:36:26,141 But her hatred of her own womanhood made life with her impossible. 399 00:36:29,895 --> 00:36:33,606 Are you prepared with witnesses? One will do. 400 00:36:33,774 --> 00:36:36,401 There is only one issue here. 401 00:36:36,569 --> 00:36:40,280 Is the story of life-entity transfer believable? 402 00:36:40,448 --> 00:36:44,909 This crew has been to many places and witnessed many strange events. 403 00:36:45,077 --> 00:36:50,081 They are trained to know what seems to be impossible often is possible, 404 00:36:50,249 --> 00:36:54,169 given the scientific analysis of the phenomenon. 405 00:36:54,336 --> 00:36:58,423 Have you ever heard of a case such as described by Dr Lester? 406 00:36:58,966 --> 00:37:01,926 Not precisely, no. 407 00:37:02,094 --> 00:37:05,346 Assuming that you are correct in your belief, 408 00:37:05,514 --> 00:37:11,102 do you expect Starfleet Command to place this er... this er... person 409 00:37:11,270 --> 00:37:13,813 in command of the Enterprise? 410 00:37:13,981 --> 00:37:17,358 I expect only to reveal the truth. 411 00:37:17,526 --> 00:37:22,906 If I am not captain, and knowing she will not be allowed to serve as captain, 412 00:37:23,073 --> 00:37:26,826 then you would be captain! It is inevitable. 413 00:37:32,791 --> 00:37:39,214 Give it up. Return to the Enterprise family. All charges will be dropped. 414 00:37:39,381 --> 00:37:43,676 And the madness that overcame all of us on Camus ll 415 00:37:43,844 --> 00:37:45,512 will fade and be forgotten. 416 00:37:45,679 --> 00:37:49,015 What will become of Dr Lester? 417 00:37:49,183 --> 00:37:51,434 Dr Lester will be cared for always. 418 00:37:51,602 --> 00:37:55,146 It is a responsibility I owe her from the past. 419 00:37:55,314 --> 00:37:59,234 No, sir, I shall not withdraw a single charge that I have made. 420 00:37:59,401 --> 00:38:03,530 You are not Captain Kirk. You have ruthlessly appropriated his body, 421 00:38:03,697 --> 00:38:06,783 but the life entity within you is not Captain Kirk. 422 00:38:06,951 --> 00:38:13,373 You do not belong in charge and I shall do everything in my power against you. 423 00:38:19,838 --> 00:38:24,133 Play back those last two sentences from Mr Spock's tirade. 424 00:38:29,431 --> 00:38:33,977 'You do not belong in charge. I shall do everything in my power against you.' 425 00:38:34,144 --> 00:38:37,814 You heard the statement. Do you understand its nature? 426 00:38:37,982 --> 00:38:40,858 I do. And I stand by it. 427 00:38:42,194 --> 00:38:47,198 It is mutiny! Deliberate, vindictive, insane, in its base! 428 00:38:47,366 --> 00:38:52,453 But mutiny as charged. Dr McCoy, Mr Scott, you heard it. 429 00:38:52,621 --> 00:38:58,251 I call for an immediate vote by the powers granted to me as captain. 430 00:38:58,419 --> 00:39:02,005 A recess is declared to be followed by a vote. 431 00:39:02,172 --> 00:39:06,426 An immediate vote before our chief witness can be left to die 432 00:39:06,594 --> 00:39:09,387 on an obscure planet with the truth inside her. 433 00:39:09,555 --> 00:39:11,639 Silence! You will be silent! 434 00:39:13,392 --> 00:39:16,185 A recess has been declared. No discussion. 435 00:39:16,353 --> 00:39:19,772 When I return, we will vote on the charge of mutiny. 436 00:39:20,816 --> 00:39:25,486 The evidence presented here is the only basis of your decision. 437 00:39:48,927 --> 00:39:51,763 - Scotty. - Doctor. 438 00:39:53,932 --> 00:39:55,725 Doctor. 439 00:39:55,893 --> 00:40:00,563 I've seen the captain feverish, sick, 440 00:40:00,731 --> 00:40:07,904 drunk, delirious, terrified, overjoyed, boiling mad. 441 00:40:08,072 --> 00:40:13,493 But up to now I have never seen him red-faced with hysteria. 442 00:40:15,496 --> 00:40:17,830 I know how I'm going to vote. 443 00:40:17,998 --> 00:40:20,541 I've been through this with Spock. 444 00:40:20,709 --> 00:40:23,252 He's not being scientific and neither are you. 445 00:40:23,420 --> 00:40:29,175 It may not be scientific, but if Mr Spock thinks it happened, then it is logical. 446 00:40:29,343 --> 00:40:33,971 Don't you think I know that? My tests show there's nothing wrong with him. 447 00:40:34,139 --> 00:40:38,142 That's the only fact Starfleet's going to be interested in. 448 00:40:38,310 --> 00:40:42,355 Headquarters has its problems and we have ours. 449 00:40:43,524 --> 00:40:49,320 And right now the captain of the Enterprise is our problem. 450 00:40:51,407 --> 00:40:53,783 They're going to call for the vote in a few minutes. 451 00:40:53,951 --> 00:40:57,412 Let me put one last question. 452 00:40:57,579 --> 00:41:01,457 Suppose you vote with me in favor of Spock. 453 00:41:02,501 --> 00:41:06,754 That means two votes to one and Spock is free. 454 00:41:06,922 --> 00:41:10,216 What do you think the captain will do? 455 00:41:14,805 --> 00:41:18,099 - I don't know. - You know all right. 456 00:41:19,268 --> 00:41:21,310 It'll stick in his craw. 457 00:41:21,478 --> 00:41:23,521 He'll never accept it. 458 00:41:23,689 --> 00:41:27,024 - We don't know that. - I tell you he won't. 459 00:41:28,110 --> 00:41:32,780 Then, Doctor, that's the time we move against him. 460 00:41:34,700 --> 00:41:39,495 - We'll have to take over the ship. - We're talking about mutiny, Scotty. 461 00:41:42,082 --> 00:41:44,250 Aye. 462 00:41:47,004 --> 00:41:49,672 Are you ready for the vote? 463 00:41:53,802 --> 00:41:57,388 Yes.
